The objective of the conference is to bring together people interested in calorimetry and thermal analysis applied for environmental purposes from academia, laboratories, industries, agencies, etc. Discussion about all aspects of such applications in particular of the thermophysical and thermochemical properties of materials (gaseous, liquid, gel or solid) shall be promoted.
Calorimetry and thermal analysis plays the major role in investigations of new materials for environment and biochemistry. New experimental techniques as solution, surfactant, combustion and hazard calorimetry, hazard thermal analysis, etc. are of the utmost importance. They deliver the information required for the conception, development and design of new processes and products as well as for the improvements and optimization of established technologies.
The conference is aiming to be a discussion meeting for researchers and teachers from academia on one side and for researcher from industries and all other areas on the other side.
The program will consist of invited keynote-lectures, as well as a large number of oral presentations and posters. Although it is mainly intended to be a European meeting, participants from all other regions are invited. The organizing committee reserves the right to accept contributions and qualify them either into the oral or poster sessions. Authors should give their preferences.
